As it is multi-lingual blogging day, I thought I would try my hand at blogging in different languages. As English is my mother-tongue I shall attempt to switch between English and other languages which I am capable at speaking, but not writing, Afrikaans and Deutsche.

With English as my first language I am cursed with the ‘English Disease’ of being able to go most places in the world without having to try other languages. Foreign Languages are no longer cumplusory through the education system and it is a real shame.

People without English as their first language try very hard to learn a very complex and illogical language so that our world, as English speakers, are open to them. Our arrogance is becoming our downfall.
